The Leviathan Bones Inn
The Leviathan Bones Inn is a marvel of architecture and magical preservation, built within the massive ribcage of an ancient sea monster. The bones, magically treated to prevent decay, form a cavernous structure over 100 feet long and 50 feet high at its tallest point. The Leviathan Bones Inn is more than just a tavern; it's a living museum of maritime history and a testament to the seafaring spirit of Jotunheim. It's a must-visit location for sailors, serving as a place to share tales, find crew members, or seek information about sea routes and monsters.
Features
- Main Hall: The central space between the largest ribs, featuring a long bar made from a polished vertebra.
- Private Rooms: Smaller chambers nestled between ribs or within hollowed-out bones.
- Crow's Nest: A lookout point in the creature's skull, offering a panoramic view of the harbor.
- Boneyard Cellar: A basement level where the rarest drinks are stored in casks nestled among smaller bones.
Atmosphere
The inn is always alive with the buzz of conversation, the clinking of mugs, and the creaking of the magically preserved bones. Bioluminescent algae cultivated on parts of the skeleton provide soft, ethereal lighting.Notable Features
- The Wall of Tales: Where patrons can carve or paint their greatest sea stories directly onto the bones.
- The Captain's Table: A special table made from the leviathan's teeth, reserved for distinguished guests or those with the most incredible tales to share.
History
Founded nearly two centuries ago by retired sea captain Olaf Stormrider, who slew the leviathan during his final voyage. The preservation and construction were aided by a team of druids and wizards, turning a legendary kill into a lasting landmark.
